About Cherry Punch
Cherry Punch is a hybrid from Symbiotic Genetics, created by crossing Cherry AK-47 with Purple Punch. It became a favorite in California for its candy-like profile and has since spread to dispensaries in many legal states.
True to its name, Cherry Punch smells like sweet cherries and fruit punch, with a light tart finish on the exhale. Buds are usually medium-sized and compact, showing deep green leaves, occasional purple hues and plenty of orange hairs. Myrcene often supports the ripe fruit notes, caryophyllene adds a gentle spicy undertone, and limonene can give the flavor a bright, tangy lift.
Cherry Punch is commonly described as happy, relaxed and euphoric. People often choose it for a social afternoon or a laid-back evening, since the experience is frequently reported as cheerful without being too heavy. THC usually ranges from 18% to 24%, with little CBD, and potency varies by grower and batch.
Its fruity flavor makes Cherry Punch appealing to people who enjoy dessert-style strains. Start low, go slow, and check the THC on the label, since potency can vary from one batch to the next. Use WhereLeaf to find Cherry Punch at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
